PLANTING POTATOES IN DRILLS.

fLANIlNb loES IN
As long rs potatoes were planted
mainly in little patches for home use,
in one corner of the corniield. they
were generally put in hills, with rows
both ways and the same distance apart
as the corn. But potatoes do not need
so much room as this. If the ground
is rich and moist. as it should be, the
rows need be only two feet ten inches
apart, and the seed be dropped at in
tervals of twelve to fifteen inches in
drills. The land can only be worked
one way by this method, but the yield
will be largely increased. Use good
zed potatoes and cut out the eyes, so
as to plant only one or two in hill
with good chunk of potato attached.
If cut to single eyes the pieces will be
so small that many will often fail TO
grow.
DEPTH OF POTATO SETS.
There is difference in variety as TO
the depth at which the young potatoes
will form, and it is not entirely due to
the way in which they are planted.
The Early Rose class of potatoes set
near the surface. The white varieties,
such as White Star, Burbank and St.
Patrick, are deeper in the soil. This
makes the white potatoes rather less
liable to rot, as the fungus which
causes the disease first forms on the
leaves and then is washed down to the
tubers Thus, killing potatoes is q
partial protection against rot, and is
absolutely necessary for Early Rose
and other kinds which naturally set
near the surface, and unless artitically
covered are very likely to become sun.

UNDERDRAINING WET PLACES.
In no country in the world do sc
large a proportion Of its farmers owl
the land they till as in the United
States. And yet there are thousands
who act as if they were only LEASING
their farms and were liable to be turnet
OIL at any time. The amount of work
done every Spring, and often both il
Spring and Fall in opening burrows TO
surplus water to pass off from the sur
face, would soon dig and lay an under
drain through which water would for
ever pass away underground, and re
curing. no extra expense. Consider
ing that well-laid underdrain is
permanent investment, no farm i'm
provement pays better interest in tn
saving of labor in draining low ground
to say nothing of the fact that the waite
which soaks away underground leave
the soil rich, while that which washc
over the surface carries of fertility. -

The first and most vivid memory of
anything that little Frank Trevor ever
had was the fishing village of Drayton-
on-Sea; of the grand hills guarding it
and the great gray sea bounding it, 1t
always seemed TO him as if there were
two other worlds besides the one in
which he lived. for every day-nay,
two or three times a day-dd not the

from unknown land behind, and rush
by to some Unknown land beyond? He

Experiments repeated several years
in subso ling on new land by Western
experiment stations fail to show any
benefit from the practice. The con-
clusion is that new land does not need
to have It's subsol broken mp. and may
possibly even be injured thereby. In
all new land, full of vegetable matter,
there are natural watercourses through
the subsoil, worked by passing water
along the lines of decayed tree and
grass roots The effect of subsoiler
must be to break up these natural
underdrans. and if the so is naturally
compact it soon becomes too wet. Event

much harm as good unless it is preced-

DISCUSSING THEIR FATE,

Ahe Chlchso Anarchists Talk OVcr Their
Chances OF Life and Death.
CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. ia consulta-
ton as TO whether they would do any
thing more to save themselves was held
by the condemned anarchists this morn
ing. They talked over the same thing
yesterday and renewed the discussion this
morning. They came from their cells at
SSe esand until 80 they talked earnestly
and turned the matter over for and against.
A close friend of sll the men. and a prom
inent member of the defense association,
saw them this morning to know the
result of the discussion. He
was induced to say that they had dis
cussed two things, one q question of
whether they shall appeal to the Supreme
court of the United States and the other
a monster petition. 1t is proposed to get
up pleading for executive clemency.
The last measure was voted sgainst BY
every man there. They ell assured the
informant that they have done nothing for
which to ask their pardon. As for an
appeal to the Supreme court, that
is different matter. Some OF
them felt as they might use every
resource to be found in the laws. The
member of the defense association said
that three Of the condemned men were
opposed to an appeal to the Supreme
court, but ne refused to disclose their
names. He also said that no matter
Whist the final decision of the men was,
their friends would go ahead and make
every effort to revoke the judgment by
the United States Supreme court. In
event Of that being failure petition
would be gotten up.

Carefully securing and holding this

In New York the ladies formed a
Health Protective Association and incor-
porated it in 1884, Since then they
have publishedreports for 1885 and 1886.
The business of this society is to secure
the enforcement Of existing sanitary
laws and regulations, with also the pro-
lection Of health. Any lady residing in
the city of New York may become a
member of this association and any gen
tIeman may become an advisory mem
Der. Some matters IN which large es-
adjustments have endeavored to evade
the sanitary laws of the city have been
taken up and through effort and an earn
est attempt to have the laws needed have
resulted in much more healthful state
OF things. These ladies deserve the
greatest respect and gratitude of a com
mnnity where hundreds of little children
die each summer from poison air; die
because some one wishes to avoid the
trouble of placing in good sanitary con-
dltlon large establishments that are eth
er too busy or too penuriouS to attend
to their own affairs thoroughly.

let me give you a fact to wash it
down with You say you have for
years longed Tor the free, indepen.
dent life of farmer. but you have
never been able to get enough money
to buy q farm. But that is Just
where you are mistaken. For sever
al years you have been drinking .
good improved farm at the rate Of
one hundred square feet a gulp. If
you doubt this statement, figure it
out yourself. An acre of land con-
tains forty-three thousand Eve hum
dred and sixty square feet. Estima-
ting, for convenience sake, at $43.56
per acre, you will see that brings the
land to just one mill per square foot,
one cent for ten square feet. Now
pour the fiery dose and imagine you
are swallowing q strawberry patch.
Call in five of your friends and have
them help you to gulp down that Eve
hundred foot garden. Get on a pro-
longed spree some day, and see how
long time it requires to swallow Q
pasture large enough to feed cow.
Put down that glass of gin; there's
dirt in it-one hundred square feet OF
good, rich dirt, worth $43.56 per acre.

Bees In September.

Successful wintering of bees de-
pends, to great extent. on their man.
agement this month. Late, unsealed
honey is poor food for winter, and
should never be used for feeding pur-
poses. If extracting be continued
late, there Is more or less danger, un-
less full sealed combs have been set
aside for that purpose: otherwise the
late unsealed honey may be extract
ed, and good sugar syrup be substi-
tuted.
There are many localities where fall
flowers abound, and where
the principal surplus of the year is
gathered this month In harvesting
fall honey the extractor is inUalua-
Ole, for the bees will not store the
honey in boxes when the combs must
be built, nearly so fast as in the brood
chamber, where instinct teaches them
it must be filed for winter. This is
also good month to introduce new
blood iuto the apiary Keep no
queenless stocks after this month, un.
less it is intended to introduce queens
In which case, or 2 combs of hatch
ing brood, from stocks that can best
spare them, should be inserted, in Or
der to secure young bees for winter
If there are still surplus boxes on, it
is quite necessary to keep the cap Of
the hive warm at night by artificial
means, as the bees are very apt to
leave boxes when the nights are cool,
and thus retard their work to such an
extent that we have many unfinished
boxes, where, with the necessary
warmth, they would have been com.
pleted.
Where the honey harvest ceased
last month. tho bees may now be di-
vided, giving them young queens.
The honey flow OF this month will en-
able them to get in good condition by
the time they go into winter quarters.
When any stocks have old queens,
these should be destroyed, and young
queens introduced. With little
care, the supply of queens can be
kept on hand At this time of the
year, should feeding be necessary for
this purpose; feed as fast as possible,
unless it is desired to stimulate brood
rearing, when the entrance feeder
may be used with good effect. Keep
the queens laying as long as possible,
to have apopulous stock.-American
Agricuiturist.
